Recent awkward moments or realizations that you had recently

[BrotherSurplice]

I frequently think about (and subsequently try to not think about as soon as possible) the fact that I am in many ways a massive hypocrite.

Example: I love the royal family, yet am fully aware that they do nothing extraordinary for the country, surely take up more taxpayers money than they make up for from the money from tourism, and that they represent the idea of aristocratic privilege which I so despise so much.

Just going to correct you here. While the royal family is paid a grant of 40 million pounds annually, the government actually earns money from them, as a deal made by George III means that revenue from Crown Lands is paid to the government, and this comes to about 200 million pounds annually. Furthermore, they bring in a LOT more in tourist money.

Here's a video, if you're more interested:

Huh, well there goes one of my qualms, but the other still remains. None the less thanks for the info.

Last night I realized that every human relationship ends in pain.

Have a nice day.

 

[Screamarie]

I recently realized that I spend a very large part of my life in fantasy worlds either in books, video games, movies/TV, or my own mind. I still take care of my real-world responsibilities but when that's taken care of, back to fake reality I go.

I also recently realized that a woman who lives several hundred miles from me, I've never spoken to her in person, and who I'm not likely to meet any time soon is the person who knows me best and I feel more comfortable with her than I have anyone else in my entire life.

my five year old nephew told me that pokemon is for babies (ouch)

Psh. He probably only uses his starter.

Realization: When I've had an uncomfortable encounter with a stranger, I continue to make a grimacing apologetic face for a long while after the moment has ended and said stranger is far out of face-reading range.

Whenever I see CGI and an actor on screen interacting I can't help but think how awkward it must be to be the actor since they're trying to emote to a tennis ball on a stick.

Ha ha, I'm the exact same way! Really takes me out of the movie. I think it's all the "behind the scenes" features I watch...

kind of like actors doing a sex scene

"those actors are faking it and theres a crew filming that and it must be really really awkward"

then its no longer hot

I realized I'm a lot more emotional about certain things than I like to think. And related to that I realized I really dislike myself a lot.

Are you around 19 or 20 years old and feel like your life isn't really going anywhere because of the way you turned out?

Because I sort of realized that I didn't much like myself also. I feel like I'm really annoying around people I know.

I ask because I'm hoping it's just a phase we go through at this age.

 

[launchpadmcqwak]

realizing you made out with some random chick last night...and so did everyone else...

 

[JoesshittyOs]

I like smoking weed, but god damn do I get steamed around stoners.

I'm with ya there. Some of my friends have these stupid stoner conversations that they think sound really smart, but in reality are so fucking stupid. I'm definitely a solitary smoker.

 

[tobi the good boy]

That I'm a god. No seriously, I'm gradually getting to the point where I actually believe it.

I should think so...

except I grew out of the self-loathing thing pretty quick....

though I feel like I come across as a retard somtimes...

 

[Nexxis]

I found out recently that I have slight scoliosis (meaning my spine in a little crooked). I've become more self conscious about it and my back bothers me more than usual. I'm even having trouble sleeping at night cause I can't seem to get comfortable. I didn't bother me too much before, but now it's like I can feel how crooked my spine is XD. Now I know why I tend to lean when I sit or why I can't really lay on my back.

 

[TakeyB0y2]

I just turned 20 on Friday and came to the realization that the reason I find it hard to make friends is because I just don't enjoy the same things most people my age are expected to enjoy. I dislike drinking, I loathe clubbing (albeit I've only been to a club once and it was horrible experience), and partying never was my thing. When I have friends telling me about how shitfaced they got or how they and their friends spent a night kneeling over a toilet puking from drinking to much, I just think... Wow... You people actually consider this to be fun? I understand people find different activities fun, but when people talk about how their "best nights ever" usually involve drinking so much of a toxic substance that their body has to forcibly eject some of it out of them in order to protect itself, I just... Gah.

I realized this because when I asked co-workers and some of my semi-close friends what they think we should do on my birthday, they'd all suggest going to a bar, pub or club, meanwhile, here's poor little naive me thinking laser tag and bowling would be awesome. Aaaand they just laughed and told me I need to grow up... Sigh...

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

It occurred to me recently that I've been living in Texas for almost four years. I never planned to be living in Dallas this long. D:

Let's hang at a-kon together!

I realized I am a fucking adult. And that terrifies me. If I'm an adult, people I KNOW are adults! MY PEERS ARE ENTERING THE CONTROL THE COUNTRY STAGE.

Same here. In fact, I'm planning on going into the webcomic business with a friend of mine and the comic shall be based on a roleplay of ours. That's how invested me and my friend are in our fantasy world, we're willing to try and make money off of it.

 

[dvd_72]

I just realized that I've been single for about 5-6 years...it's gotten pretty lonely

I know that feeling. Haven't been in a single relationship yet, and I'm approaching my last year at uni. It's almost been five years since I've gotten laid as well, which always gets me down when I realise it. Sucks that I'm realising it more and more often too.

Sigh... that's so true for me I don't even. My life is just way to full of inactivity so I have nothing to do but daydream.

Blah, I would kill to get rid of all this boringness.
